PERKINSVILLE.

We lately saw an instrument much
used in ''ye olden time but which is
now far behind in the march of hui
man progress. 1t was one of the old
steels which were used for kindling a
fire. Mr.. Chas. Knights of Amsden
has it in his possessions. Mentioning
one antiquity leads to another. We
have a copy of Pilgrims Progress
printed at Winsor in 1871 by L. n.
Pomroy, P, Merritield & Co., Pub
fishers. 1t is printed on paper
which somewhat resembles the parch-
ment paper, but is yellow with age.
The covers are thin pieces of ash
boards with leather over the back and
on the corners. Mrs Philena Chill
son has one of the old New England
Courants published at Boston in l123
by Benjamin Franklin aud, by the
way, all who visited the Mechanics
Fair at Boston saw the press on which
this was printed. 1t is said that we,
as nation, have too much regard for
the antiquities and too little for the
present and future. We can hardly
agree with that writtr for no nation
of the earth ever made the progress
that we have. These relics have q
value in showing how much we have
improved and no father.

The Very Worst Of All.

Social crazes are nothing If not silly,
and the latest is certainly one Of the
most foolish in long list Of follies.
1t is nothing less than the keeping of a
chair album" in which young ladies
thoughtfully store up locks from the
pates Of their gentlemen friends. Each
contribution is tied with blue ribbon,
and accompanied by general
description of the appearance Of the
individual donors. The girl with any
regard for good sense and propriety
would never accept lock of hair from
any one but her betrothed lover. The
craze referred to is simply an exagger.
ated manifestation of the leaning to in.
discriminate Irritation so observable in
the overgrown boys and unbalanced
girl Of the present period. - Baltjmoe,
Herald
